"Room was nice and clean. Others were advised the AC went out...so bummer for them. Elevators were slow, and breakfast was ok same as all the others. There's a little market around the corner. Walking distance to bell and independence hall."

"The location is fantastic. The staff very pleasant and helpful. The warm cookies are the bomb. They gave us an extra cookie the next day for my husband's birthday. The closet door was broken and hard to manage but the room was very nice. The towel and toilet paper rack were broken and kept falling. ..."
